Ian Somerhalder: 'Vampire Diaries' Season 3 Promo Pics!

The posters, which TV Line got a first look at, feature the co-stars each holding a piece of bloody fruit.

As for what fans can expect in the new season, producer Kevin Williamson recently told Collider, “The fun is the obvious, which is Damon and Elena’s relationship, and how it progresses in the pursuit for Stefan and trying to save him, if he can even be saved.”

“Damon is being thrust into this role of hero now. We saw it happening in the second season, and it’s a role he’s not good at or comfortable with,” he added.

The Vampire Diaries season 3 premiere airs Thursday, September 15, at 8/7c on The CW!
